2011... See ya wouldn't wanna be ya....










2011 is just hours away from being over. While this year has been a year of A LOT of changes. I finally have my dream job. Working in the beauty industry for an up and coming makeup company and travelling all over the U.S.A. and more meeting and talking with all levels of make-up professionals etc. Amazing right? Yup pretty much my life is kick ass... the down side?? Being away from home for sometimes weeks at a time. I am pretty close to my family and friends and being away from them so much has really worn on me. In the last year I have been to the following places( these are not listed in any particular order)(I may have also forgotten a few places.....)

Milwaukee, Wisconsin- My first show EVER..








Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-Where I first met Simone :)










Chicago, Illinois: My first Beauty Show








St. Louis, Missouri: My favorite city I never knew I would like.











San Diego, California: Yay! I got to see my bestie Virginia!

Tampa, Florida: Where I experienced my first hurricane

 











 
New Orleans, Louisiana: A DREAM COME TRUE!













 
Ft. Worth, Texas: Oh boy that was a fun weekend....

Vancouver, Canada: My first trip "abroad"













 
Toronto, Canada: Me and my favorite Canadian Kara









Cleavland, Ohio: I love beer









Denver, Colorado: Matt "Tebowing"









St. George, Utah: Searching for polygamists








Indianapolis, Indiana: Yay I get to see my bestie Vanessa.. PREGGERS!











Phoenix, Arizona: Floridians can't take a dry heat... wussies













 
Orlando, Florida... Met a stage one clinger

Overall 2011 was a pretty fantastic year. I met lots and lots and LOTS of new amazing people that I cannot imagine NOT being apart of my life and I am hoping that 2012 along with the fantastic adventures I hope it comes with more stable moolah :)

Daily Gratitude

Ok so I have not posted in a long time. A lot but not a lot has been going on all at once... anyways I saw this on Pinterest and thought it would be a good project for me to keep my mind from exploding when I am stressed and/or bored. So I am going to attempt to do a daily/ weekly/bi-weekly posts about things I am grateful for. I will post them here of course on my personal blog as well as on a blog I share with my friend Sarah Jagger. You can check that blog out by clicking SandSwhatareweobsessedwithnow. On that blog Sarah (Swera) and I post about the things we are obsessed with. :)
